■ Remove any adjusting key or wrench before

turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left

attached to a rotating part of the power tool may

result in personal injury.

■ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better control

of the power tool in unexpected situations.

■ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves

away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-

lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

■ If devices are provided for the connection of

dust extraction and collection facilities, en-

sure these are connected and properly used.

Use of these devices can reduce dust related

hazards.

Power tool use and care

■ Do not force the power tool. Use the correct

power tool for your application. The correct

power tool will do the job better and safer at the

rate for which it was designed.

■ Do not use the power tool if the switch does

not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot

be controlled with the switch is dangerous and

must be repaired.

■ Disconnect the plug from the power source

before making any adjustments, changing ac-

cessories, or storing power tools. Such pre-

ventive safety measures reduce the risk of start-

ing the power tool accidentally.

■ Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-

dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with

the power tool or these instructions to oper-

ate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in

the hands of untrained users.

■ Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment

or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts

and any other condition that may affect the

power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the

power tool repaired before use. Many acci-

dents are caused by poorly maintained power

tools.

■ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges

are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

■ Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits

etc., in accordance with these instructions

and in the manner intended for the particular

type of power tool, taking into account the

working conditions and the work to be per-

formed. Use of the power tool for operations dif-

ferent from those intended could result in a haz-

ardous situation.

Service

■ Have your power tool serviced by a qualified

repair person using only identical replace-

ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of the

power tool is maintained.

Chain Saw Safety Warnings:

■ Keep all parts of the body away from the saw

chain when the motor is operating. Before you

start the saw, make sure the saw chain is not

contacting anything. A moment of inattention

while operating chain saws may cause entangle-

ment of your clothing or body with the saw chain.

■ Always hold the chain saw with your right

hand on the rear handle and your left hand on

the front handle. Holding the chain saw with a

reserved hand configuration increases the risk of

personal injury and should never be done.

■ Wear safety glasses and hearing protection.

Further protective equipment for head, hand,

legs and feet is recommend. Adequate protec-

tive clothing will reduce personal injury by flying

debris or accidental contact with saw chain.

■ Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation

of a chain saw in a tree, may result in personal in-

jury.

■ Always keep proper footing and operate the

chain saw only when standing on fixed, se-

cure and level surface. Slippery or unstable sur-

faces such as ladders may cause a loss of bal-

ance or control of the chain saw.

■ When cutting a limb that is under tension be

alert for spring back. When the tension in the

wood fibres is released the spring loaded limb

may strike the operator and/or throw the chain

saw out of control.

■ Use extreme caution when cutting brush and

saplings. The slender material may catch the

saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you

off balance.

■ Carry the chain saw by the front handle with

the saw chain stopped and the guide bar

pointing to the rear. When transporting or

storing the chain saw always fit the guide bar

cover. Proper handling of the chain saw will re-

duce the likelihood of accidental contact with the

moving saw chain.

■ Follow instructions for lubricating, chain ten-

sioning and changing accessories. Improperly

tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or

increase the chance for kickback.

■ Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and

grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery caus-

ing loss of control.
